Description

Sometimes your bees just need a little more to keep you bees strong and healthy …

The Australian climate can be a harsh one. Often bees are left stranded with no source of pollen or food. Custom Bee Feed has specifically been formulated to ensure your bees thrive during times of drought or low pollen environments.

Custom Bee Feed is made in Australia by Australian beekeepers for an Australian climate and contains all the essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids your bees need to thrive.

This unique feed has a high pollen content for bees.

Custom Bee Feed is also triple milled to ensure a super fine powder that the bees can easily collect so you have minimal wastage. Supplementary feeding allows the bees to make the most of natural pollen when available and helps to maintain strong brood nests.

Don’t compromise on quality.

I am just learning about keeping bees so I have not used it yet, I am getting up my food stores at the moment

Bee food

Am I meant to mix with water or just dry as no instructions supplied thankyou

Hi,
This dry powdery Custom Bee Feed can be used in two formats. This can be used dry straight as is out of the container or mixed as part of a pollen paddy. We have recently added a new blog that you might be interested called 'How to Make a Pollen Patties for your Honey Bees?' . https://buzzbee.com.au/blogs/info/how-to-make-a-pollen-patties-for-your-bees
We hope that this helps you.

Great top feeder

Works really well and I fed my hive 10l of sugar syrup in 5 days

Bee Feast

The honey flow in our area is still four weeks away. So I have started feeding my bees with pollen supplement from Buzzbee. The hive growth is going well. My bees love the pollen. I set the pollen in small feeders made from pvc down pipe. Bottom line happy healthy bees that will be ready for the honey flow. Thank you Buzzbee.

Custom Bee Feed for Beekeepers - Mine don't eat it

Unsure why, but neither of my hives are eating this at all.

Hi, sorry to hear that your bees are not engaging with the bee food. There can be a number of reasons for this. The most common is that if there is some natural pollen sources available, where they will likely take this as their chosen option.
Another option is sometimes the bees prefer the pollen substitute in the form of a patties rather than dry powder. We find time of the year and locations within Australia can also influence their preference. We hope that this may help you.
All the best,
Buzzbee Team

Preparation Guide Pollen Supplement

Bee pollen supplement feed is used to provide essential nutrients to bees, particularly when natural pollen sources are scarce. To use it, place the supplement in a feeder or directly on top of the brood frames inside the hive. It can be offered in various forms, such as patties or powder, depending on the bees' needs and the time of year. The supplement helps boost colony strength by supporting brood rearing and maintaining overall hive health, making it a valuable resource during early spring, late fall, or periods of poor foraging conditions.
